Title: Test head for compressed gas cylinders
Inventor: GRENCI CARL A
IPC: G01N3/12
Filed: 1985-08-02
Granted: 1986-06-04
Abstract: A test head useful in the testing of compressed gas cylinders capable of withstanding high pressure. The water jacket head includes a neck seal including a spud insertable into the neck of a compressed gas cylinder for permitting a high pressure seal to be made to the cylinder. The present neck seal incorporates a permanent quick-connect sleeve for which mating male spud insert units can be designed for nearly any size cylinder neck. Changing the spud insert can be accomplished by hand, without removing the head from its use location. A diaphragm support spring is installed between the moving spud stem assembly and the top plate of the head which biases the spud stem assembly, thus increasing diaphragm life and preventing increasing reassembly difficulty following spud changes. Studs and screws replace welds in holding the top, side and bottom plates together which greatly alleviates the task of servicing inside the head when leaks eventually occur in the moving elements. A heavy, long-lasting, fluid pressure expansible head boot is included which requires less servicing, simplifying field installation.

Title: Information handling method and system
Inventor: OGURA HIROYUKI
IPC: G06F11/08
Filed: 1990-07-18
Granted: 1994-02-09
Abstract: Several processors and several communication control units are connected to a transmission medium. Each communication control unit has one or more terminal devices connected to it, and so any terminal device can be coupled to any processor. Each processor includes a central processing unit, a memory, and a control manager. The memory stores first information regarding processing being done with a terminal device coupled to the processor and second information regarding the communication control units connected to each of the processors and regarding the terminal devices being serviced by the processor. The control manager manages the communication control units based on the stored information. Information about the connections between the processors and the communication control units is broadcast to all processors. If any processor is faulty, another processor can take over the processing being done by the faulty processor. Likewise, further, processors can be added to the network, and their connection status is known to all other processors.

Title: Detecting liq. metal leakages from nuclear reactor circuit components
Inventor: BELVAL MICHEL
IPC: G21C/
Filed: 1980-05-02
Granted: 1986-06-11
Abstract: A sub-assembly for the detection of leakages of a liq. metal circulating in a component of a circuit, e.g. a pipe or a valve or contd. in a vessel, e.g. liq. sodium circulating in the circuits of a nuclear reactor, incorporates electrically conducting elements placed inside an electrically insulating material. The insulating material consists of a rigid shell, the inner face of which conforms in shape to the outer face of the component. Open grooves are formed on the inner face of the shell to receive the conducting elements. The grooves have a widened part away from the inner face of the shell, receiving the elements, and a part of reduced width between the widened part and the inner face of the shell, keeping the elements sepd. from the inner face. The device avoids faults of existing devices comprising e.g. wires, plates or grids associated with an insulating support constituted by a fabric of silica threads or by a layer of permeable felt, of which the time of response is too long and which are fragile and difficult to handle. The device according to the invention has a very short response time and handling is very easy.

Granted: 1988-11-30
Abstract: Character contours are broken down into a series of orthogonal vectors. Pixel drop out occurs where opposite going vectors coincide. The inside pixel (410 or 440) of each vector (400 or 430) is set to the vector length if the length is greater than the set values of the inside and the outside (420,450) pixels. This procedure is repeated for all the vectors for all the contours. At completion all those pixels set to one or more are set on to produce a drop out corrected bit map which is logically OR'd with the original drop out containing bit map.
